Annapolis woman charged with murdering 2-year-old daughter

An Annapolis woman was charged Thursday with murdering her two-year-old daughter, and the city's police also said she disposed of the body.

Chelsea Booth, 25, of the first block of Bens Drive, is facing charges of first- and second-degree murder, and child abuse, according to court records. She was held without bond at the Anne Arundel County jail.

Police said a "concerned citizen" reported Wednesday not having seen Kassidey Booth in recent days. They said an investigation indicated that the mother killed Kassidey earlier this week and disposed of her body.

Detectives are continuing the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Pyles at 410-268-9000.
